Jasper Racial Discrimination Attorneys

What Types of Conduct are Prohibited in Alabama?

Racial discrimination is prohibited in Alabama under the U.S. constitution and Title VII of the U.S. Code. Employers may not take race into account according to these laws when hiring or recruiting workers, or when determining wages and promotion offers. Before taking their discrimination claim to court, an employee must file their claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is the federal agency which has authority to investigate any claims of discrimination in the workplace.

What Must Be Proven in a Discrimination Claim?

Before taking their discrimination claim to court, an employee must file their claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

04/02/2010Mr. J. was ethical. Furthermore, he was straightforward with me. He was knowledgable and attentive.
In a history of about 50 encounters, once he ran just a fuzz late. But to me, tiny snafus are part of living (I make mistakes such as and similar to small latenesses about 4 times a day in my work life and my personal life). He is still the best lawyer I have ever worked with. I have met or worked with about 10.
I almost put excellent rating instead of superior for "was the service was a good value for my money?" This because all attorneys cost too much. But Mr. J.'s fees were quite fair, even good, considering in his field, which happens to be basically a field of businesspeople who charge many times over too much. He did not do unecessary work on my case to get in extra money.
